Sacrifice for a Loved One

                   Chapter 3 – Apple Sauce

William and Samantha hurry into the auditorium and sit down in their seats as the graduates have begun walking in. They are searching the graduates for Blaine. “Do you see him?” Samantha asks concerned. William keeps scanning the graduates. “There he is!” William shouts to Samantha showing her where he is. They are both relieved and now they can relax and enjoy watching their son Graduate.

At the Anderson residence a group of people dressed completely in black have entered the house and within an hour the house is empty. The Anderson's property packed into boxes along with their memories of a past that will no longer exist. While at McKinley the choir room is empty except for a couple of people dressed in black picking up a duffel bag and heading to the auditorium.

Principal Figgins stands and says, “I want to introduce Blaine Anderson Class President.” Blaine rises and heads to the podium as families and friends applaud. Blaine begins, “Thank you. On behalf of the Class of 2013 I want to welcome you to our Graduation Ceremony. I am only going to say a few words because our future is waiting and we are ready to meet it. “He says as people chuckle. “I would like to thank our administrators and teachers for giving us the tools we will need to meet the future. To the senior class congratulations on completing 4 years of high school together and for being there for each other through all our ups and downs. Though we will go our separate ways we will always be connected by McKinley.” Blaine says as he turns and smiles at his glee club seniors. “Finally, I would like to acknowledge the love and support we have received from our parents.” Blaine pauses as he bites his bottom lip looking at his parent's eyes as he says. “You have made many sacrifices for us that we didn't know about. As we move on and choose our path on the road to adulthood please know it was greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten. The lessons you have taught us will come with us as well as your undying love. Thank you.” Blaine turns around with moist eyes as he walks back to his seat. William and Samantha have tears in their eyes because their son was really talking to them and sending them a message.

Miss Pillsbury starts calling the names of the graduates and Principal Figgins hands them their diploma along with a handshake. Blaine Anderson, he hears his name announced. He rises and looks at his parents. He sees them smiling, their faces filled with tears and clapping with pride. He sees Kurt, his true love cheering him on as he displays his beautiful smile, blowing him a kiss. Blaine reaches out to catch it. He accepts his diploma and handshake and turns to face his loved ones and slowly changes his tassel form one side to the other. He has graduated, and now he must begin to face reality while Graduation continues for the rest of the class. After Graduation is complete the other seniors hug and say goodbye before finding their families in the auditorium. Blaine runs back to the choir room to get his duffel bag that contains everything he needs as well as a letter, Kurt's letter that he needs to give him. He didn't notice he was being followed by two men dressed in black. William and Samantha have lost sight of Blaine. They start to head out of the auditorium when two men dressed in black suits come up to them and whisper. “Come with us please, apple sauce.” Apple sauce the secret code word for this mission. William says.”Samantha, go with these men and I will find Blaine. Where is he?” He asks the agent. The agent is listening to someone talk to him through an ear piece. “Choir room,” the agent says. William quickly moves through the school heading to the choir room.

Blaine opens the door and goes to grab his duffel bag but he doesn't see it. “Where is it? He asks himself as he turns around to look for it. He sees it, on the shoulder of a man dressed in black with another man next to him. “No, no, no!” Blaine yells in his head. “You need to come with us, apple sauce.” They say calmly. Blaine knew that apple sauce was the secret code word and that it meant they were relocating. His plan is falling apart. “No, no, no!” Blaine yells this time out loud. The agent holding the duffel bag whispers into his collar. “We have a problem, permission for sedation.” He pauses for a second waiting to hear an answer from his ear piece. “Message received.” He says. The agent says to Blaine. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way, what is it going to be?” The choir room door opens and Blaine sees his Father. “Blaine,” He says. “I can't, I can't! “Blaine screams as he starts to run into Mr. Schuester's office so he can get out through his door. A man in black tackles him to the ground as he almost makes it to the office. Blaine is hitting and kicking with all his might as he shouts. “No, no, no! Please help me Dad! Please help me! No! No! I can't, I can't!” William is frozen, knowing he can't do anything as he watches the second man in black inject Blaine with a drug that affects him immediately. He watches as Blaine slowly starts stops fighting and then stops moving and finally he becomes silent as his eyes slowly close. A third agent appears and says. “Let's go! Let's go.” William walks toward his son's unconscious body as an agent picks up Blaine and puts him over his shoulder to carry him fireman style. They rush out the choir room followed by William and the other agents, not seen by anyone. A black van is waiting outside and William jumps in and sits down beside his wife. The agent gently places Blaine down on the seat next to his Father and throws his duffel bag in the back. William grabs hold of Blaine tightly as he lets his limp body slowly slide down to rest on his lap. Samantha looks at William worried about her son as the van quickly takes off followed by the agents and their vehicles. Blaine's car and the Anderson's car have already been disposed of. “Blaine I'm sorry, I'm so sorry” William says again as he lovingly caresses his son's cheek that is still damp from tears when William hears Blaine mumble, “Kurt.”
